hi, I have now 155.600km, and from 124000km i got my used santamo, august 2007, i haven't EVER changed spark plugs.
So, now that i have 2-3 times them warning check-engine lamp on, i think i's time to give some proper attention.
1st i thought it was bad quality of petrol, did 1-2 filling but lamp is coming on, 1 day after i disconnect battery everytime to reset lamp, and try to find an error again.
The car behavior is perfect, everything very-very smooth, motor perfect, but lamp on.
So it's not an importand damage, but it needs to check.
Starting, i don't have HIGH-SCAN hyundai tester to check error, and i am not willing to pay for that.I did once and i regret their aknowledge, by far bad service.
I have a feeling that car ECU has found some ignition misfires, so it give me this message.
So, i give you food for thought.
WHAT SPARK IS FOR OUR CARS?
Don't answer fast, cause you really have to be sure.
I attach the following data pics to check yourself.
The left one, dirty is mine just removed, the gap went from 1,1mm to 2,3mm --- the second is the one i found in market and installed, with 16mm spark-pipe not 21mm spark-pipe ---- the 3rd is the simpliest NON RESISTOR BP6ES which i can gap it manually from 0,6mm to 1,1mm specs. --- and below them you can see the car manual which tells me to put NON-RESISTOR BP6ES-11 (pregapped from industry)
spare parts program TECDOC 2009 give me that the best is
a spark-plug WITHOUT RESISTOR. Why?
what do you suggest? ARE ALL THE SAME?
